Relationship Advice?

[drobs]

I'm gonna be a little blunt...

Go for it now before moving in together. You're still young but you need to learn self confidence at some point in your life. Self confidence makes $. Self confidence gets you the jock or cheerleader.

You're going to be pissed when he brings home, to your shared flat, some other self confident guy that stepped up and made a move on him.

You only have 1 life to live - live it to the fullest.
carpe diem

Let me give you a couple examples from my own life. In my 20's I'd walk into a Gay Bar find the cutest guy in the place, step up to him and start talking &/or offer to buy them a drink. Self Confidence is attractive and men are pretty easy to figure out. I usually was successful...

Example 2 from my own life. Rejection. Learn to deal with rejection.
Where I work we have a 2 drink limit that applies to everyone on the military base. I'm a civilian but the rules still apply to us. The military enforces it on and off.

One night we figured they were enforcing the 2 drink limit. I asked my drinking buddy "How do you deal with rejection?" He's like - "not so well, I'd rather not even try than be rejected." I said fuck it - I'll deal with rejection.

Yep no 3rd drink for me - rejected by the senior enlisted guy working the bar. I might have been briefly embarrassed getting rejected for a 3rd drink in front of a line of 30 or more people but fuck it. Deal with it move on.

Last point... how did I learn self confidence? By getting rejected, ignoring the embarrassment, and moving on / forward. You win some you lose some but you have to act.
